But with that being said, I just bought an OEM engine mount and will install it just to make sure that I don't have the issue crop up in some future race.
So, remind me--you currently have semi-solid mounts on both the engine and trans, right?

So you've concluded it there's no downside to them (no loss of engine power), but did you find a benefit? Better throttle response? Better handling?

Would you recommend using semi-solid mounts or not? What are your reasons?
